Mr. Speaker, do members know who does not report to the Prime Minister in our parliamentary system? The Speaker of the House of Commons does not report to the Prime Minister.
It is well established that the independence of the Speaker is sacrosanct. If the Leader of the Opposition wants to change that, let him stand up to say that.
We will continue to defend the principles and the rights of parliamentarians, even as we stand with Ukraine against the illegal invasion by Russia.
